I’m sorry … that’s gotta be tough…
@Sp1999 Yeah 😭😭 its fine though im used to it
I’m so sorry 😔😢 remember u are loved and not alone🤗🙏 make sure to spend time and connect with people that support you and do understand ocd, like the support groups here on nocd, they have them everyday of the week💝 if u feel comfortable, at some point share with your family that it hurts u when they act like that, you can even write it out in a note instead of face to face if thats more comfortable 🤗 remember to be extra kind to yourself and practice self compassion skills , treating yourself like u would a good friend going thru same thing as you are🤗🙏 also, it’s ok to take some space away from them when u need to. Praying for you and sending hugs, hang in there🤗🙏💝
@one step at a time😊🙏💝 Thank you so much 😭💓💓 you’re very sweet
I’m truly sorry ocd especially SO-OCD is no joke. You aren’t alone I promise and just remember things will get better even if it doesn’t feel like it now. I’m rooting for you. You got this!!
@AmandaB345 Thank you 💓✨
Today is Easter and it was supposed to be low key for me and my family but my mom invited a family member that bothers my ocd alot and now they are on their way here and I'm freaking out I already had a panic attack (still having it) and my family is not helping either they keep making comments about how they just want one holiday with no problems and some other comments and it's like I'm sorry I'm not normal like my siblings I didn't ask to be like this now I'm just hurt, upset and I locked myself in my room for the rest of day. (And I was doing so good with erp and this is like making me have a ocd relapse)
So I was at a family thing yesterday and my ice was bothering me and I kept washing my hands and my family noticed and started making fun of me for it and it was like non stop it made me feel really alone especially since they clearly know something’s up but they just make it worse instead of at least trying to help😕
Yesterday I had a panic attack from OCD fears. I live alone, so in my panic I called my mum just to get some emotional support. It did not go well. I was asking for reassurnce to much and basically she got annoyed with me and started to chastise me. She said I was being ridiculous and accused me of just making up my symptoms to emotionally manipulate her. She even went as far as threatening to call the police on me to have me sectioned. I feel so humiliated. I know that I can be annoying during my panic attacks, and that my OCD puts a massive toll on my familiy. But I don't want to manipulate people. Now, I feel like an abuser. In these moments, seeing how much my weakness makes my family suffer makes me just want to not be here anymore.
